It was a great night, in a great place, with some great food, and nice wines from the Bodegas Lustau portfolio. A big thank you Lee Schrager for his support, and for letting these dinners keep a little Cobaya edge to them; to all of his crew at SOBEWFF for the incredible amount of work that goes into putting on this and the million other events they have going on during the festival; to Dominique Shiekman at The Workshop Collective for being an invaluable liaison; to Alex Chang and the entire team at the Vagabond for everything they did to make this happen; to all of the chefs and their crews; and as always most of all, to the guinea pigs who come out and support these events.

(A side note: we have an upcoming event on March 8 which was originally posted as Experiment #59. We're not very good at counting. SOBEWFF was #59, the upcoming event is actually #60. Sorry for any confusion).

We will be doing a drawing for seats from all requests received over the first 48 hours.

Please send an email to request seats and let us know how many you're requesting.

You will be advised by Saturday February 27 if your request has been confirmed. You'll then need to book your seats by noon on Tuesday March 1, or we may need to release the seats to the wait list to ensure all spots are filled. Note the tight schedule: please make your request quickly, and if you get a spot, please book quickly.

We have very limited seating available for this one, and while we try to accommodate everyone who is interested, that is usually not possible - most events fill up fast. Due to space limitations, we will limit people to 2 spots per request, though if you're interested in more let us know and your request will be added to the waitlist.

When your seat request has been confirmed, please book it using the PayPal link which will be set up on this page. Please do not book unless and until you've received a confirmation. When you do receive the confirmation, please book your seats through PayPal promptly. There will be a short window of time to book before seats need to be released back to the waitlist to make sure they're filled.

There will be an optional $30 pairing option; a la carte beverages will also be available and BYOB should be fine as well (but please confirm).

Confirmed and paid-up attendees will receive an e-mail the day before the event, confirming the location and other details.

A brief, but important, refresher course on the whole Cobaya thing: there is no "menu". There are no choices. You'll be eating what the chef chooses to make for the night. If you have food related allergies, strict dietary requirements, religious restrictions; are salt sensitive, vegetarian, pescatarian, or vegan; don't like your meat cooked medium rare, or are pregnant: this meal is probably not for you. Do not expect white-glove service. Don't ask for your sauce on the side. Just come and enjoy.

Plus some legalese: please note that if you're requesting a spot, you understand that any food or beverages you consume are at your own risk, that you voluntarily assume any and all risks, known and unknown, and voluntarily release the organizers of the event from any claims, including personal injury and wrongful death, resulting in any manner from your participation in this event, whether caused by negligence or otherwise. Hopefully it won't come to that.

Look forward to seeing you there. As always, thank you for your support.
